I mean, it’s depressing in a variety of ways.
The argument, “allowing people to trick money away from a certain class of person is bad because that class of person is likely to abuse their family when upset” is not very motivating for me, personally.
My distaste for exploitative betting companies comes from a place of compassion for those extorted. The domestic abuse fact lowers my compassion for the abusers. It then seems like I’m being threatened into protecting the abusers.
Imagine them saying, “you’d better protect us from foolishly wasting our money, or else we’ll get mad and abuse our families!” Uh, this makes me inclined to search for solutions that have nothing to do with gambling and more to do with detecting and preventing domestic abuse.
